Before You Cruise News

Hello Cruisers,

As we prepare to embark on our 2026 East Africa and Vanilla Islands Cruise, it’s important to ensure a smooth journey by familiarising yourself with the visa and vaccination requirements for each of our incredible ports of call. Please review the information below for the most up-to-date details as of 6th November 2025.

Please note the following:

⦿ Regardless of your intentions to explore a port or remain onboard, a visa (should you need one) is required before your cruise holiday begins. Failure to obtain a required visa may result in denied boarding in Mauritius. This does not apply to visas that can be obtained on arrival.

Before You Travel to the UK: 

⦿ For non-UK citizens travelling to the UK for their flights, you may need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter the country. For more information, please visit https://www.gov.uk/eta.
